![]() ![]() | Why I carry a gun I found this recently that you all may enjoy: WHY I CARRY A GUN I don't carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed. I don't carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place. I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid. I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world. I don't carry a gun because I'm evil. I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world. I don't carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government. I don't carry a gun because I'm angry. I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared. I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon. I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love. I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate. I don't carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me. "Police Protection" is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves. Police do not protect you from crime; they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess. Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take a whoopin'. Author Unknown (but obviously brilliant) |

This one is not politically correct! You must change it to feel like a man / woman - - - because a man / woman OR feel powerful - - - because people You don't want the liberals getting the wrong idea do you? Didn't you learn anything from Star Trek the Next Generation about being politically correct?

![]() | This is simply great it sums up the reasons people should carry. Just a few days ago a bank was robbed and i was right down the street... actually stopping by the gun shop before i went to the bank...Luckilly he was caught pray for the mailman who was brave enough to try and stop the robber... If more people carried less crime would be committed and thats a fact. |
